About
Meridia is known as an obesity medication, and it is the brand or marketing name of Sibutramine. It suppresses the appetite and increases the purpose of losing weight. With the proper diet and exercise, it works amazingly.
It was introduced to the market in 1997 by the FDA department. But unfortunately, it has been noticed that some people are misusing the medicine, which causes cardiac issues. So, now Meridia is only available with a prescription in some countries. It is under Schedule IV legal status in the United States.
